§ 75. Sir W. Darling
asked the Minister of Works if he will consider transferring the custody of the historic Castle of Edinburgh to the Corporation of the City of Edinburgh, so that the Castle may be under direct Scottish control in accordance with Scottish national sentiment.

No. The Castle of Edinburgh is a national monument and for many years has been under the direct control of my office in Edinburgh which has autonomy in Scottish affairs.
